Thanks for the links guys. I was hoping more for someone to actually show me. I hate reading. And i learn much much faster if i watch someone do it.

fragging acans aren't that bad as long as they not encrusting on a huge dense rock

Then perhaps you should sign up & go to the frag swap. There will be a fragging demo there.

If its not attached to anything large, All you need is a dremel and a diamond-coated attachment/cutter and slice away. Whether the tips of the polyps or through them its not all that bad. Make sure to wear goggles and a mask to cover your nose and mouth.

I was nervous too but after getting all these half-polyp acans then growing to full polyps i realized these are tough critters. I was right. acans are very forgiving when it comes to fragging. I fragged my favia/favites colony too in the same manner last week and they are doing great.
